MoNcToS, N. B.,April 1.-The great snow
blockade on the Northern Division Of the
lntercolonial railway still continues, to
the discomfort and even suffering OF hun
dreds Of belated travellers. Fully fifteen
hundred passengers, including seven hun
dred immigrants, are halted on their
route, and the railway authorities are
straining every ne.ve TO get food to the
passengers and the fifteen hundred work.
men that are trying TO dig them out One
train is at River Du Loup, another at st.
Luce, and another at st. Flavien, Sir
Charles and Lady Tupper being passen-
gers on the latter. A break has been made
from st, Flavien TO Campbellton, and two
blocked trains between these points are
working their way out through u tunnel
OF snow. All the northern mails since
last Thursday from Prince Edward
Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
are at st. Flavien, and seven mail clerks
are guarding them. Fully one-half of the
conductors, baggage masters aud express
managers that run on the line are hemmcd
in at this point. A dispatch from New
castle, five hours ride from Moncton,
says that the Quebec night train, the first
that has pessed the New Brunswick
borders since Friday last has worked its
way through. 1t has seven cars, all laden
with people who have been delayed by the
storm Of the week, exhausted and worn by
their long sojourn amid snowdrifts and
frost. They are freed at last only by
the superhuman efforts of fifteen hundred
men, who have worked night and day.
On Tuesday the shovelers were so ex-
hausted that p. s. Archibald, chief en-
gineer, started with special train and all
the men he could collect for the scene. He
arrived at Campbellton, pushed his way
through to st. Flavien, and last night,
about eight o'clock, broke the blockade.
People have no idea what amount of snow
there is on the New Brunswick northern
borders. In order to clear the track OF
snow five terraces were made from the
rail to the summit of the bank, and
each line of men threw TO the ter
race above, and in many places snow-drifts
are thirty feet in depth. During their
weeks sojourn in the drifts passengers
endured great hardships, although the
railway authorities did all they could TO
make them comfortable. 1t was fortunate
for the women and children that so many
sleepers were showed in with them, and
no scruples were observed in taking coal
from cars on the sidings to supply them
with fuel

LIVES IMPERILED.

Roughs Attack a Salvation Army Meeting
and Fearful Battle Wages for Twenty
Minutes.
SAVANNAH, Ga, April 3.-The Salvation
Army meeting here tonight was the scene
of riot which imperiled scores of lives.
The army meets in Ford's Hall and has
nightly attracted three or four hundred
people. Tonight an immense throng sur
rounded the building. While the saliva
ton band was playing the police appeared
and arrested five members OF the army
who played the instruments. At tho
barracks they refused offers of bail and
said they would make test case. Three
OF the army who were not arrested an
nounced TO the crowd that they would con-
duct the meeting. The hall was quickly fill
ed to itsutmost.capacity,a an unusually large
sprlnkling of roughs being in the crowd.
AT nine o'clock, one of the roughs insulted
a lady sitting near him. Her escort struck
him in the face. In an instant the roughs
rose in body and precipitated fight.
Some OF the more respectable men present
championed the cause of the lady'sproteo-
tor and forty or fifty men where soon in
volved in terrible free for all fight Many

chairs and other movable objects were
used with terrible effect. Several pistols
were tiourishod, but for some reason no
shots were fired. There was no policeman
present and the combatants fought for
twenty minutes before detail OF blue
coats arrived and cleared the hall. Two
men suffered broken noses, several had
teeth knocked out and twenty-five others
were more or less seriously battered up.
The hundred and fifty or more women
present added to the confusion by scream
ing and rushing about the hall seek
ing safety from the flying missiles. Many
Of them huddled in terror on the stage.
The scene of the fight was at the head OF
"A narrow fight of stairs which furnished
the only exit from the hall, and 10 escape
TO the street necessitated charging through

stairway been accessible many lives
would probably have been lost in the

tude Of the police force towards the army
does not meet with popular approval.

Arensdorrs Defense.

Sioux CITY, IA, April 1.-The defense in
the Haddock trial consists in charging
Leavitt with the act of murder. Witnesses
this morning have sworn positively that
an hour before the murder they saw
Leavit on Fourth street, wearing light
pants. Other witnesses testified to his
having made remarks about killing Had
dock the day of the murder. The testi-
mony however, is not wholly tonfined to
Leavitt, part of It being directed against
the character and utterances Of Bis
marck." Out Of the number of witnesses
so far called all are saloon men with but
two exceptions. They generally leave tho
stand moro or less confused by the severe
cross-examination of the States counsel.
